Chapter 25:

Tris' Perspective

   I bury my face in Tobias' shoulder. He is wheezing, and I push from his grasp. My side is burning with pain, and I wince. "Are you breathing?" I say through tears. He continues to wheeze.

    "TOBIAS!" I shout. He starts to cough. "Nurse! Help! He can't breathe!" I shout. I sit up and try to help him sit up. He just falls back on the floor. I start to cry harder, and his face turns bright red. "NURSE! HELP! HE CAN'T BREATHE!" I scream.

I hear footsteps, and I am crying. They lift him up on a gurney, and start to wheel him away. "NO! Caleb, get me to him!" I shout. I see a wheelchair next to me and start to lift myself up. I yell in pain. "Tobias!" I scream through tears. I sit up straight and start to wheel myself over.

    "Caleb! Help!" I say. He starts to wheel down the hall, and I am crying. I hear Tobias' wheezing. We pass other doctors and nurses, and Caleb continues to run. I am so close to being able to touch the gurney. "Bea...trice.....I'm really.... tired."

Caleb says through breathes. "Fine." I say. I grab hold of the gurney, and hold on tight. "Let go!" I shout. "What?" he says. "I said let go!" I yell through tears. I tug his hands off the handles. He slows down and just stares.  They are running really fast, and I am rolling behind them.

I hear loud footsteps behind me and I look back. "Tris! What's wrong with him?" says Zeke. I smile at him. "He can't breathe! Natalie's smoke..." I manage to say. "Huh?" he says as he hops on the back of the wheelchair.

    "I'll explain later." I say. They make a sharp turn and my grip falters. I hear the tires skid, and Zeke yelling. I smack into a corner and fall to the ground. I land on Zeke and both of us are laughing. I didn't get hurt, but Zeke is moaning. "Are you okay?" I ask.

He nods and sits up. "We have to get to him." he says. He lifts me up onto his back, and starts to run. I never realized how strong he was. "Four!" he shouts. He doesn't call him by his real name for some reason. "He's not breathing, we need to get him to an..."

I can't hear them anymore because Zeke is falling behind. "Come on! You can do it!" I say. He nods. We catch up with him, and I can see Tobias' face. It is glowing red, but becoming paler at the moment.

A nurse is doing CPR on him, and I'm screaming out his name. He is not moving. "Why can't you run?" says Zeke. "I had to have surgery on my side." I say. He nods. They wheel him into a room but slam the door in Zeke's face.

    "OW!" he says rubbing his nose. I reach over his shoulder and pound on the door. Nobody opens it. I bury my face in Zeke's shoulder, and cry. I feel him move and I realize that he's walking. He sets me down in a chair, and lifts me up on his lap. He pats my back and whsipers something in my ear. "It's gonna be okay." I try to smile but fail miserably.

    "Tris where is she..." I hear someone say. I look up to see Uriah with Mariah. "Are you okay?" he says. "Does it look like it?" Zeke says. "Sorry..." says Uri.

    "Aunt Tris, is Natalie okay?" I hear Mariah say. I look up at her standing in front of me. I wipe my cheeks and smile. "I don't know, I hope she is though." I say. "Where's Uncle Four?" she says. "I got him some Dauntless cake." she says.

I hold back tears and manage another smile. "He's not breathing, and they're trying to get him to." I say. Mariah is eleven and Natalie's best friend. "Oh gosh, Tris." says Uri. He comes over and wraps me in a hug. I cry into his shoulder and hug him back.

    "Natalie isn't waking up from a nightmare." I say. "This must be so hard, Tris." he says. I nod, and Zeke comes behind me and pulls the both of us into a hug. I feel smaller arms wrap around me too. My side aches with pain but I ignore it. I realize that this is my family. They were all there at Natalie's birth, her birthdays. Everything. I wouldn't give it up for the world. This is my family.

     "I love you guys." I say. "Love you too, Tris." I hear Zeke say. "Love you too, sweety." I hear Uriah say. I laugh against his chest and we all pull away. I wipe my face. "Tris Eaton." I hear someone say. I turn around, my arms wrapped around my chest.

    "Yes?" I say weakly. "We have found out what's wrong with your daughter." she says. I nod. She beckons for me to follow her, and I hear other footsteps behind me. The woman turns around, and looks at Uriah, Zeke, and Mariah. "I'm sorry, family only." she says.

Anger builds up inside of me. "They are family." I spit. She nods, and I feel them slapping me lightly on the back. I bite my lip, and tears spill from my face. She opens a door, and Natalie is strapped to a metal bed. My eyes widen at the sight.

    "We had to strap her down, in case she continued the nightmare." says the doctor. She's twitching, and her eyes are wide open. "Natalie!" I scream. I hear Mariah crying, and Zeke gasp. I see a nurse drop eye drops in her eyes. I cover my mouth, and run to her side. My hands are shaking as they hover over her face.

    "Don't touch her, she'll light." I hear the doctor say. "What?" says Zeke. "Let her explain." I say. "The doctor?" Uriah says. "No, Natalie." I say. I cry, and a few tears land on her cheek, and it sizzles, creating smoke.

    "Woah, what the hell?" says Zeke. "Zeke, it's okay." I say. I cover my eyes with my hands to keep the tears from falling on her. "We diagnosed her condition, but she's the first to ever have it." she says. I look up at her and give her a questioned look. "Jeanine released all of the information about her powers and conditions a few days before she was born. So, all the hospitals know what she has and the sicknesses only she can get." she says.

    "What's her diagnose?" I say, my voice wobbly. "Jeanine called it Nightorn. It's something she predicted that would happen. This is the last time this will ever happen, but in another 4 years or so, something different will happen. Basically it's the side effects of her powers." she says. I nod. "What will happen?" I say. "We don't know yet, there are 6 other things that can happen, and so far it's no specific order." she says. "What are the other 6 things?" I say.

    "We can't say until it happens." she says. I sigh. "Are any of them capable of killing her?" I say, tears falling from my face. She shakes her head. "But, one of them is strong enough to put her in a 3 week coma." she says. More tears....... "When will she wake up?" I say, my voice croaking.

    "Oh, any hour now." she says. I sigh of relief. "Your husband, though...." she says her voice trailing off. My nails dig into my palms, and I bite my lip to keep from crying out. "His lungs are filled with smoke, and don't have much oxygen." she says. I fall to the ground, and I feel arms wrap around my stomach. I wince in pain as I'm lifted off the ground.

    "No, Please!" I shout. I shut my eyes and just let the arms carry me away. I hear a door bust open, and I open my eyes. I see Tobias laying on the bed. I see a lot of blood......."Tobias!" I scream. Nothing. Nurses push the arms holding me out of the room.

    "No...no....." is all I can say. "Please, that's his wife!" I hear Uriah saying. He's carrying me. I feel him sitting down, and he holds me in his lap. "Tris!" I hear Christina yell.I look up, and through the blur of tears I see her. Marlene, Shauna, Shane, and Will are following. "Oh my gosh....." Shauna says. Marlene rubs my back, and Christina is hugging me. "Where is he?" I hear Shauna say.

    "He's in surgery..." Zeke says. "Where's Natalie?" says Marlene. "She's gonna be up in a little while." says Uriah. I cry into Christina's shoulder. "I can't handle this anymore!" I say.

    "You can and you will." she says. She starts to cry, and I cry harder. 

    I wait for what seems like for years, but it was only three hours. "Tris Eaton." I hear the doctor say. I stand up, wiping my palms on my legs.

    "Come with me." she says. She leads me to a door and swings it open. I feel arms wrap around me, and cry. "Mom!" she yells. I try to pick her up, but my side is aching. "I love you." she says into my arm. I am stroking her hair, and crying too hard. She pulls away. "Is that a burn on your arm?" she says. I look at my arm, and a huge red blister is lining it.

    "I did that, didn't I?" she says, her voice shaking. "Natalie....." I start, but she interrupts. "What happened? How did I burn you? Where's Dad?" she says tears falling from her face. I sigh, and cry harder. "I burned him didn't I!? He's dead, isn't he?!" she screams. She falls to the ground. "I'm a monster....." she whispers. "No no no....You're not." I say lifting her on her feet.

    "I killed him! I'm a monster, I killed my own Dad!" she screams. "No, you didn't!" I yell. She looks up at me, flames in her eyes. "Then where is he?" she says her lip wobbling. "He's in surgery....." I say. Her mouth drops open with a horrored look on her face. She falls to the ground with her face in her hands.

    "This is all my fault! I SHOULD HAVE TURNED MYSELF IN! THIS NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED!!!" she screams. I cry harder, and kneel down in front of her. "No, he's fine." I say. I am lying.

 He's not okay...... "Then what's wrong with him?!? What did I do?!?" she yells. "He's just not breathing on his own.....He needs a machine." I say. I cry harder.

"We also found some minor burns on the inside of his thighs." says the doctor. Natalie stares at the doctor in horror. She screams out loud.

She jumps up, and runs to the waiting room. 

I haven't updated in awhile I know.....Sorry! This chapter took awhile to think about, because I wrote it three other times and got discouraged with it, so I managed to come up with this crappy chapter. Don't forget to vote and comment! :)
